We got an inch overnight, 3-5 forecast. Supposed to get more today/tomorrow, we'll see...

It's raining like the proverbial cow pissing on the flat rock here right now.  Started early this morning and is coming in waves.  79 degrees and really wet!

Did I say rain?  The Wally World Calibrated Rain Guage overflowed at 5 1/2 inches yesterday afternoon, and now we're under a flood warning until Thursday and a tropical storm warning until tomorrow.  Come on down and grab some of this while you can, Honcho!

The Swamp needed it, esè. 

My hosts postponed their trip to Port Aransas till Monday because of all this tropical stuff.

The mosquito element has finally shown up: One whole bug. I'm sure they'll multiply, but Ah ain't skeert...

Heh, if I could figure a way, I would!

I have yet to mow anything aside from a couple edges around buildings and where stuff sat and protected it.  I may have to  in a week or so.

 The upside is hardly any flies or mosquitoes.

We are having to deal with the New World Screwworm. There is already a confirmed case in Tom Green county, which is only 2-3 counties away from us.

Yes we did.  I think Corpus Christi was a few weeks away from water rationing before all this started.  We ain't in a drought no more!

Another half inch last night, but it's starting to ease off.  If the sun comes out it's going to get really toasty...

Ugh, hopefully they will ignore you.  Of course this is all Trumps fault, he stopped the science to detect them, which is why they were detected in Mexico 1st and not stopped by an imaginary line on a map.

Heat warning today. They're claiming upwards of a 120° heat index. It's 75° out here now, already feels like I walked into a sauna.

Should be fun. Thank God for swimming pools.

We are actually cooling down a bit, mid 80s for a while again, chance of thunderstorms starting Saturday.

Hay is running about 20- 25% of normal so far.

 I saw a map that showed what it would take for rain to end the drought in 30 days, we are in the 14" area, which is what we get all year normally.

Happy Father's Day to all of you!

More rain last night and today.  The Wally World Calibrated Rain Gauge now reads a total of 8 inches (maybe a little more because it overflowed once) over the last six days.  There's still standing water in the low part of the backyard that will probably be there for another six days unless the sun comes out and burns it all off.  The weeds are loving all of this!

[Onepoint]

We had 3/10" and some quarter size hail, but not much, and I was happy to get just that!

 I finally mowed the road edge and barrow pit, which is the only thing tall enough to mow yet.

These hot,muggy texas days are well worth getting through to enjoy these phenomenal Texas evenings!

And the PuddinFace came to visit!
